Mod Bumper Front Hitch Mounting

[dcg2]

Sorry if this has been addressed. Used search and couldn't find anything.

I'm pretty certain a hitch mounted winch is the way for me to go because of the limited amount of off-roading I'll likely be doing (few times a year).

Is there a known-good solution for adding a hitch to the front with the Mod Bumper?

Bonus question: Other than lack of convenience are there drawbacks to using a hitch mounted winch (safety /performance)?

Thanks for any help.

Edit to add: I was thinking an existing solution for the ford ranger would be a good starting point, but likely will wait for a properly engineered solution

There are some here that would poo-poo the idea of a receiver winch plate, I own one, a equipment trailer with receivers mounted in strategic places and my 2000 Ranger has a front mount receiver hitch as well as one in the rear, both from Curt mfg. I haven't checked whether Curt makes one for the 2019-21 Ranger, I wouldn't assume that it would fit the Bronco, but my 1997 Mountaineer does accept the same receiver as the front one for the Ranger I do have...

Would like to know too. Interested in a winch for the mod bumper on my badlands with standard package.

while it states for a 2021 Bronco...It doesn't look like its been done yet as they show a pick up installation and states "custom"

Response from eTrailer:

I did some research on your 2021 Ford Bronco, and I discovered that unfortunately, manufacturers currently do not have a front hitch produced for your vehicle. However, this may be due to the fact that they have not tested any hitch models yet for this recent model. The best route forward (other than a custom solution) is to check back in with our site periodically to see if we have released a front hitch yet.
